Cerelac Infant Cereal with Wheat & Fruits (6+ Months), 1kg

Cerelac Wheat and Fruits infant cereal provides complete, iron-fortified complementary nutrition for babies from 6 months when the World Health Organization recommends introduction of solid foods alongside continued breastfeeding or formula. At 6 months, breast milk or formula alone becomes insufficient to meet the rapidly increasing iron and energy needs of the growing infant, and iron-fortified cereals are among the first complementary foods recommended by paediatric nutrition guidelines globally. The fruit pieces introduce flavour variety and texture progression appropriate for this developmental stage.

Specs

• Type: Iron-fortified infant cereal
• Suitable from: 6 months
• Size: 1kg
• Key features: Iron fortification, wheat base, fruit pieces
• Preparation: Mix with breast milk, formula, or boiled cooled water

Benefits

• Iron fortification at levels calibrated for the dietary gap that opens at 6 months - when the infant's birth iron stores begin to deplete and breast milk iron content alone cannot meet the growing demand - directly addressing one of the most critical nutritional needs of this developmental stage
• The wheat and grain base provides complex carbohydrates that digest at a controlled rate, supporting the more sustained energy delivery needed as babies become more physically active through rolling, sitting, and beginning to move
• Fruit pieces introduce variety into the weaning diet, supporting the development of diverse taste preferences and gradually progressing the texture of the diet from pureed to small soft pieces - an important developmental progression for establishing varied eating habits
• Enriched with a range of vitamins and minerals including B vitamins, Vitamin D, and calcium that are essential for the rapid bone growth, organ development, and metabolic function of the second half of infancy
• The 1kg size provides a genuine multi-week supply during weaning, reducing the frequency of repurchasing and offering better value per serving than smaller packs during the period when cereal is used daily

How to Use

• Wash hands thoroughly before preparing
• Add the specified number of level scoops of cereal to a clean bowl
• Add breast milk, formula, or boiled water that has been allowed to cool to an appropriate warm temperature
• Mix to the desired consistency - thinner for younger babies just starting solids, thicker as they progress
• Test temperature before feeding - should be comfortably warm, not hot
• Prepare fresh for each feed - do not store prepared cereal
• Introduce one new food at a time and wait 3 to 5 days before introducing another to identify any allergies
• Do not add honey to food for infants under 12 months
